Vehicle charging allocation managing server and vehicle charging allocation managing system

Abstract

A vehicle charging allocation managing system containing plural charging stations each having a battery charger to charge a vehicle, a charging station managing server for managing the charging stations, and a vehicle charging allocation managing server that is connected to the charging station managing server through a communication network, and instructs vehicle allocation to allocate each of the vehicles to an appropriate one of the charging stations for charging. The vehicle charging allocation managing server has a controller for setting a vehicle charging allocation schedule for specifying a charging station and a charting time zone to charge each of the vehicles on the basis of a battery residual capacity and a battery capacity consumption plan, thereby performing vehicle allocation for charging.

1 . A vehicle charging allocation managing server for managing charging of a plurality of vehicles each of which has a vehicle driving battery mounted therein, comprising a controller for setting a vehicle charging allocation schedule for specifying a charging station and a charting time zone to charge each of the vehicles on the basis of a battery residual capacity and a battery capacity consumption plan, thereby performing vehicle allocation for charging. 
     
     
         2 . The vehicle charging allocation managing server according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller determines the battery capacity consumption plan for each of the vehicles on the basis of a predetermined working schedule for the vehicle. 
     
     
         3 . The vehicle charging allocation managing server according to  claim 2 , wherein each of the vehicles is a business vehicle for which an operation schedule containing the working schedule and a rest schedule is managed, and the controller obtains the operation schedule and determines the battery capacity consumption plan on the basis of the obtained operation schedule. 
     
     
         4 . The vehicle charging allocation managing server according to  claim 3 , wherein when the operation schedule of any one of the vehicles is changed and thus a vehicle charging allocation schedule of the vehicle is required to be changed, the controller adjusts and changes the vehicle charging allocation schedule and vehicle charging allocation schedules of the other vehicles. 
     
     
         5 . The vehicle charging allocation managing server according to  claim 1 , wherein the charging station is managed by a charging station managing server, and the controller inquires to the charging station managing server about a usage status of the charging station corresponding to the charging station managing server through a communication network to specify the charging station and the time zone for charging. 
     
     
         6 . The vehicle charging allocation managing server according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller calculates the battery capacity consumption plan for each of the vehicles on the basis of at least one of a travel condition containing season, weather or a time zone, a device construction of the vehicle, a crewmember of the vehicle or a travel route. 
     
     
         7 . The vehicle charging allocation managing server according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller notifies a vehicle charging allocation schedule to an in-vehicle mount device mounted in each of the vehicles through a radio communication network. 
     
     
         8 . A vehicle charging allocation managing system for managing charging of a plurality of vehicles each of which has a vehicle driving battery, comprising:
 a plurality of charging stations each of which has a battery charger for charging the battery of each of the vehicles;   a charging station managing server for managing the charging stations; and   a vehicle charging allocation managing server that is connected to the charging station managing server through a communication network, and instructs vehicle allocation to allocate each of the vehicles to an appropriate one of the charging stations for charging, wherein the vehicle charging allocation managing server comprises a controller for setting a vehicle charging allocation schedule for specifying a charging station and a charting time zone to charge each of the vehicles on the basis of a battery residual capacity and a battery capacity consumption plan, thereby performing vehicle allocation for charging.
